I agree on the rake, love it anyway... Also real brakes up front, usd fork, and wire wheels... Then it'd be perfect.

They said the 'brakes are from Buell', that I would assume means perimeter brakes, which work just fine.
(though I agree about the wire wheels)

Didn't read it and missed it in the pic... I see now that they used the newer Buell brakes with the slotted rotors..m. OSP approves.

Agree on the rake. My first thought was I hope it steers better than it looks like it should.

There are only two things I like about this bike:

The tail piece, and the tail piece.

The rake, coupled with the, what, 350mm+ rear tire?, = sucks ass in turns. Fuck that.

That seat cover looks like it was salvaged from an easy chair, in an Indonesian whore house.
